Tufts Football Tradition

The last game of the 2008 season is this upcoming Saturday at Middlebury. But did you know that football has well over 100 years of history here at Tufts? Not sure who played what sport when? DCA also has a huge collection of athletic rosters available on the Tufts Digital Library.

Here are a few of the DCA staff's favorite images of Tufts football past. Frederick%20aka%20Fish%20Elllis.jpg

Veteran's Day Tribute: Jay Samuels

We were saddened to learn this weekend of the loss of a good friend, Jason Samuels, E1945.

Jay served throughout the Pacific during World War II, and was a staunch advocate for ROTC at Tufts. I got to know Jay working with him on two projects near and dear to his heart: the V-12/NROTC exhibits in the Tisch Library (and online) and subsequently, the many hours he volunteered to help us develop exhibits for each year's reunion. Jay's visits to the archives were a treat and we could count on lively conversation, sharing memories, and planning new activities.

Jay was a fierce patriot, a passionate Jumbo, and a dear friend. We will miss him very much.

Good food, good company

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, the DCA celebrates dinners and dining. What better defense against cold weather is there than getting together with friends and family to enjoy a nice meal? Think festive clothes, fine food and fabulous cocktails.

View more images of Tufts events revolving around dinner and dining, such as the Junior Dinner Dance pictured above. Not only has Tufts hosted formal dinners and commemorative banquets, but there was also a tradition in the Fletcher School of a "Faculty Waits on You" dinner. Sound fun?
